Firm launches world’s first dog-friendly stag and hen dos

Gateshead stag and hen firm, Last Night Of Freedom, has launched what it claims to be the world’s first dog-friendly stag and hen dos.

The service enables pet owners to bring their pets on a ‘pup crawl’ around Newcastle’s bars and take part in activities like yoga and football.

Last Night Of Freedom managing director, Matt Mavir, told Chronicle Live: “They say a dog is a man’s best friend, so it seems only right that they should be able to spend the stag or hen by their owner’s side. Millennials went dog mad during lockdown.

“Now a couple of years later they are all getting married, so that’s left many customers facing the problem of what to do with their dog during their weekend away. Rather than dump them in a kennel, we believe this is the solution, plus having your canine by your side only enhances what will already be one of the most memorable weekends of your life.”

Last Night Of Freedom offers a package that features dog-friendly pubs, bars, hotels, and activities.

“We have almost a dozen activities – ranging from football to dance classes – where the dogs have the OK to attend. Obviously, stuff like paintballing is off the table, but there are a wide range of fun, quirky activities available that conveniently also allow the dogs to be exercised while you’re having fun,” Mavir told Chronicle Live.
